0163-6804/98/$10.00 © 1998 IEEE n June 1996, the FCC adopted FCC Docket 94-102 [1] as an official report and order (R&O), thereby officially mandating that wireless 911 callers receive the same level of emergency service as that available to wireline callers who have benefited from wireline Enhanced 911 (E911). One of the key provisions of FCC 94-102 is that cellular, personal communications se...

among structured peer-to-peer systems, chord has a general popularity due to its salient features like simplicity, high scalability, small path length with respect to network size, and flexibility on node join and departure. however, chord doesn’t take into account the topology of underlying physical network when a new node is being added to the system, thus resulting in high routing latency an...

An experimental VLF WorldWide Lightning Location (WWLL) network is being developed to provide realtime locations of cloud to ground lightning discharges occurring throughout the globe. This network has expanded from a limited number of stations in the Western Pacific to its current state of 11 stations, in most longitude sectors, with additional stations planned in the near future. As part of t...

Distributed generation (DG) has been widely used in distribution network to reduce the energy losses, improve voltage profile and system reliability, etc.  The location and capacity of DG units can influence on probability of protection mal-operation in distribution networks. In this paper, a novel model for DG planning is proposed to find the optimum DG location and sizing in radial distr...
